Westinghouse Condensing Gas/Electric Packaged Unit Now Available in a Rooftop Version

95% AFUE R8HE released in a downflow configuration.

St. Louis, June 19, 2014 ŃWestinghouse® HVAC has expanded the R8HE gas/electric packaged system model to include a downflow configuration. The R8HE is the first condensing gas/electric packaged unit for residential applications and offers unprecedented heating efficiency Š 95% AFUE.

When furnaces operate at such high levels of efficiency, condensate forms. With a gas/electric packaged system there is a fear that the condensate will freeze. The R8HE addresses this problem by piping the condensate into the building (in rooftop applications). This model also offers efficient, 14-SEER cooling capabilities.
